Originally called in as a domestic disturbance in the 1400 block of Meadow Peak View, the first officer arrived just before 1 p.m. and saw the suspect leaving the apartment where the disturbance was reported — with a kitchen knife in his hand.

The officer used a taser on the man immediately, but according to the police blotter it, “had no effect on the suspect.”

The two began talking, buying time until additional officers arrived on scene.

Once additional officers arrived they surrounded the man and were able to convince him to toss down the knife. But compliance ended there because he then started to advance toward the officers, saying that he would fight them.

Police used a taser on the man a second time and then took him into custody without further incident.

He was arrested for menacing, violation of a protection order, obstruction, reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct.

The gunfire did not result in any injuries directly, but bullets did strike a car that then crashed. The resulting crash caused injuries for an unknown number of people, spokesman for the Thornton Police Department Jesus Mendez said.
